Keep it Simple

Jerome Cruz is a personal friend of mine and it is a big privilege to feature his car on our site. The thoughts and plans he has for this car can only be matched by the actual execution of them when it is all said and done. Having said that, let’s actually take a look at his MK3 Jetta as it stands at the present time. The color choice is the first thing that makes this car special. It is not just white, but a custom blue pearl color blend made by Omar Rodriguez (aka Mr. Dub Empire, aka Mr. Tilly’s man). Pictures can’t describe it, you have to see it in person in order to appreciate it.

Jerome’s daily is actually a slammed Honda fit, this Jetta happens to be his project car. A set of infamous 1988 Corvette wheels and coilovers were used to have it sit properly. It may not make much sense at first, but these wheels are quite popular within the dub scene and very few cars can pull them off this well. Adding to the clean appeal of the outside, Jerome also kept it fresh inside by adding a white Moco Moco steering wheel and a red headliner with accents.

Giving this car a subtle glance is a mistake. Honestly, every time I see it I find myself more in love with the look and style. A perfect example to prove that it is the little things that really matter and keeping it simple always works out.
